Decisions help you choose
There will be many moments today, the next day, and the day after that for you to let go when you feel the pull to make a choice that creates you to be a version of yourself that you no longer want to be.
The power of a decision is immense. It helps you eliminate the options that no longer serve you, shaping your life. The root meaning of the word “decide” can help you remember you are metaphorically 'cutting away’ other options, making the many moment-to-moment choices to let go when you feel pulled easier.
Deciding can take courage because you are taking responsibility, yet responsibility is where your fulfillment lives. If you choose to, you can decide today who you are now or who you are becoming, and therefore who you are not and who you are not becoming, and make your little and big choices from this decision.
Will you fail sometimes as you work towards owning the responsibility on the other side of your decision? Absolutely. This is why you should also now decide to forgive yourself every time.
What would be possible if you finally decided rather than hoping?
